I don’t generally like marinades because the meat tastes like the marinade, not the meat. My wife likes experimenting with marinades so she convinced me to try this. The marinade looked vile to tell you the truth, but it was a nice combination of flavors. To my surprise, although the marinade made the chicken look burnt, it kept the meat moist and didn’t have an overpowering flavor. Other than using bone-in chicken breasts, I followed the recipe with no changes.

Pretty good! Although not the best grilled chicken I've ever had, this was decent nonetheless. And WOW, was this ever moist! I do have one gripe tho.... The fresh herb flavor was VERY mild (I thought it would be stronger - my marinate smelled WONDERFUL). I only marinated my chicken breasts for two hours. Next time I'll marinate overnight for optimal results. I also think I'll decrease the balsamic a little bit so that the marinade becomes more paste-like. This will ensure that the herbs adhere better to the meat. If you like the taste of balsamic, just use a stronger one to compensate (there are a multitude of varieties to choose from). Served with a tuscan bean salad and fresh rosemary bread, this was a quick and healthy meal. Thanks for sharing, Robyn! :-)

My family raved about this grilled chicken. I used fresh herbs from our herb garden, rosemary, thyme, dill, parsley and also added the suggested dried sage and garlic. The chicken only marinated for 45 min. After grilling, I cut it in thin slices, laid it on top of rice pilaf and topped with mandarin oranges. It was beautiful and delicious!

Very Good lots of flavor. I will cut back on the vinegar next time, we will make this again this is a perfect summer chicken dish. we always have lots of fresh herbs growing in the garden. Thanks for the great recipe.

This was a great hit at my BBQ party. I marinated it for 8 hours and used fresh basil in place of sage--that's what I had on hand. The vinegar wasn't overwhelming, but produced a very tender, moist breast. The herbs were such a nice blend and the parsley really enhanced the flavor. Good thing because boneless breast is usually so darned dry and tasteless. Loved it!
